Mon, 29 Apr 2013 19:23:40 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2042810#comment-2498758FACT: Poyer played for Oregon State Beavers not the Oregon Ducks.

Florio was right…dynast77 was wrong.

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 18:48:55 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2042810#comment-2498662Kelly didn’t “pass” on his players. He’s already said that he would’ve taken Dion Jordan at #4 and Kyle Long at #35, but neither player was there.

“In fact, the Eagles didn’t draft anyone from Oregon”
In actual fact, they did draft Oregon CB Jordan Poyer in the 7th round!

Stop making stuff up.

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 18:01:26 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2042810#comment-2498497I think Kelly would have loved to have drafted some of his players, but the draft didn’t fall into place for him to do so. At least without trading up, or reaching down.

But Kelly did draft several players that were on opposing teams he faced at Oregon.

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 16:42:18 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2042810#comment-2498259This is a dumb story. Do you think any of these coaches had the say so to pick any of their former players? They are coming into organizations that have entrenched scouts and GM’s. Plus they are rookie coaches. Do you seriously think that their evaluation of their former players will carry much weight. That’s like any of us going to out place of employment and recommending that our family/friend gets offered a job.

These mock draft people stole McShay’s mock draft or were so desperate to feel important that they had a “source” that they were too foolish to realize they were being used by the Bills to put out false information. It was rather odd that Nassib “suddenly” moved up into the first round the last week by several self-proclaimed analysts.

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:56:35 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2042810#comment-2498102I am glad that Chip Kelly chose skill over his ties to his former university.

The Eagles had a great draft and nabbing Matt Barkley in the 4th round proves that the Eagles will be running a Patriots style offense rather than the read option.

Which makes this Eagles fan very happy!

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:50:29 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2042810#comment-2498087I think both of those guys were like a kid in a candy store with the draft. They had an equal shot at talent that they didnt have in College recruiting. It’s not a surprise they would go for the guys they wanted but couldn’t get because their programs, while elite, are not the highest levels.. They had to accept slightly lesser talents than the Pro Football Factories. They did great with that slightly lesser talent, but they can now compete on an equal footing.

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:44:00 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2042810#comment-2498070Chip specifically said in his press conference that Fisher, Joeckel, Jordan, Johnson were the top 4 on their board, and they would take whoever was there, if it happened to only be one guy. Wonder what King’s source knows that Chip doesn’t.

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:40:45 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2042810#comment-2498062Why does this surprise anyone? The means of getting players are different in college and professional. Not to mention that the pool of players is different as well.

In college the players can choose where they are going, with the draft it isn’t like that, the teams choose.

It does make a difference.

By the way, that IS the GM’s job isnt it? I don’t get why people so often blame/praise coaches for personnel decisions.

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:28:28 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2042810#comment-2498030I wouldn’t call Chip Kelly passing on Dion Jordan they had to give up a 3rd rounder to move up and found that too much for a rebuilding eagles team. Put sure if thats how you look at it go ahead and call it that…

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:24:52 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2042810#comment-2498018It’s probably the smartest thing they could have done. The coaches may play favorites or the players them selves may feel like they are owed something to them by their coach. And that could possibly create an uneasy locker room. I know this as a Bills fan I DID NOT WANT NASSIB for the reasons I mentioned. Nassib would have been Marron and Hackett’s little pet. Stuck at the hip. That didn’t work out with Fitz and Gailey too well. When Fitz started to go down hill Gailey didn’t have the cojones to bench the guy. It would have been tough seeing Marrone go down the same path as Gailey because Marrone is the man. Best coach since Marv for sure.

Go Bills! Circle the Wagons! We are #BillsMafia!!
